AN: Good evening readers, In this chapter we move towards the chamber and move ever closer to the main trend of this story. Thank you to everyone who is following and also to those who have marked this as part of their favourites list, I am so grateful. I hope you all enjoy this chapter!

Minerva, Harry, and a very shocked Hermione move towards the abandoned bathroom. This bathroom was the only known entry to the Chamber of Secrets. As they entered the room, Harry got more concerned. He was still worried about whether he was able to get into the chamber, or if he would look silly trying.

Harry concentrated on the indent of a snake on the sink, focused and spoke. "Open." English. Harry got annoyed. He closed his eyes and imagined he was at the zoo, not just any zoo, but the zoo he was taken to just over 10 years ago. Not only was this the first place he ever spoke to a snake, as far as he remembers anyway, but also makes him happy to remember Dudley and Piers being snipped at by said Boa Constrictor. He calmed down and decided to give it one more attempt.

"Open."

The Sink moved out of Harry's way, revealing the giant hole that led underneath the school. Minerva, having never seen this, was astounded.

"You went down there?" Minerva asked in befuddlement.

Harry gave a small smile to his former professor and moved towards the hole. Just like when he was twelve, he moved to the edge and slid down to the bottom. He knew what to expect this time, as did Hermione. Minerva did not know though, so her confusion and worry rose when she ended her trip to the bottom and saw all the bones strewn across the floor.

After checking to make sure everyone was ok, the three adults moved on towards the main chamber, which was opened using the same tactic as before. Minerva entered the main chamber first, as she was the only person in the group not to have seen the chamber. She was impressed with the size of the chamber and the water features along the walls. She however was not as impressed with the giant head of Slytherin on the far wall.

Hermione entered second. She was bombarded with memories of the chamber during the battle, these memories opened up other memories from that day, invoking a deep sadness to overwash her. She allowed a single tear to slide down her face before she regained control.

Harry entered last, his eyes shooting straight to the spot he originally found Ginny all those years ago. He also expected to see the memory of Tom starring at him. He got tense trying to find where Tom could be hiding, until he remembered that he destroyed every piece of Tom's Soul. Harry relaxed. He allowed himself to actually look at the chamber for what it was. He was never able to do this before, as it was a battlefield, first against the Basilisk, then Tom himself.

"WHAT IS THAT?!" Minerva was in shock, having found the skeleton of the basilisk. "You killed that? How?"

"Don't worry, it got me too. Fawkes saved me." Harry grinned, yet that did not calm the stress Headmistress.

Moving to the statue, Harry looked up. The women looked at Harry with confusion, which made sense as neither have ever seen this happen before.

"Speak to me, Slytherin, greatest of the Hogwarts Four."

The mouth of the statue opened, revealing another room to the chamber.

Minerva was the first to speak. "I can't believe this! How did you know what to do?"

"Tom showed me." Harry responded, more focused on going into the newly opened chamber.

Minerva wanted to ask more questions but decided to wait until they returned to her office.

Harry pushed forward, climbing over piles of rubble and bones left by the former, giant occupant of the room they were traversing. The room was dark, having no sources of light at all.

"Lumos!" Hermione lit up her wand. The others following suit.

After roughly half an hour, all three left the mini chamber back to the original room.

"There was nothing there, hard to believe that Slytherin built a chamber just for his weapon." Minerva stated.

"Maybe there is another room around here?" Harry was wanting to see what the others thought of his idea. "Maybe we can look?"

Everyone agrees to look around the chamber just to make sure. Hermione and Minerva checking inside the main chamber room, and Harry looking outside for another door.

Harry was the first to find anything, quite a distant down the hall. He found what looked like a runic emblem. He immediately called for Hermione and Minerva using his Patronus.

Within minutes he heard running, and it was not long before he saw them come around the corner. Hermione was most interested in the runes on the wall, while Minerva was more interested in the table nearby, a table harry failed to notice.

"These are some of the missing artifacts! Here is Salazar Slytherin's Journals, and here is his cloak, it even has his house emblem." Minerva was proud of their efforts.

"Harry, these runes you found, they're very complex. I have no idea what they could do, or even who made them. They're way too modern to be from the Founders era."

Harry took a closer look at the runes, he saw some dust and decided to clear it off to see the rune better. He reached out towards the dust and as he brushed it off, he heard Hermione.

"Don't touch it, we don't know what..." she was cut off by a big flash.

Harry felt a pain worse than the Cruciatus curse, a pain through what felt to be his soul. The pain became too much, and Harry passed out.

As harry awoke, he felt groggy. Harry looked around, curious to where he was. He was outside in what looked to be Surrey. This is where he was raised, if you can call what happened to Harry as raising. As he rose to his feet, something was off. He looked down and saw something he never thought possible. He saw himself, but not as he was in the chamber moments ago, but instead as a 7-year-old child.
